Hallo Peter,
Schon seid Wochen will ich mich bei dir melden. Wir sind am 7 Februar in Grenada angekommen. Nach dem ersten Schrecken mit den verlorenen Bolzen vor Cabo Verde hat der Windpilot hervorragend gearbeitet, ich habe ihn kurz nach der Abfahrt aus Mindelo eingestellt und erst vor Grenada wieder ausser Betrieb genommen. Endlich eine gute Windsteueranlage auf der Trotamar!

Ich wollte mich nur bei dir bedanken und dir schreiben das ich ueber den Windpilot begeistert bin. Im Mai segel ich zurueck, zu den Azoren, soll ich irgeneinen Unterhalt machen? ich wollte nur die Zahnraeder einfetten und das Ruder von Muscheln und Algen befreien, genuegt das?

Im Moment sind wir vor Anker in Mayreau und hoffen das Morgen der Winds etwas abnimmt um in die Tobago Kays zu segeln. Das Leben im Westen ist schon weit weck und wir geniesen die Freiheit des Meeres und der veieln neuen Freunde, der einsamen Buchten und auch der Buchten mit vielen Yachten.
Viele Gruesse dir!
